The Sioux Bill.

The following Washington special to
the Pioneer Press, while it would seem
TO encourage a hope for the passage of a
bill for the opening ofthe Sioux reserva-
ton is also suggestive Of strong opposi
ton on the part Of the bosom friends ci
the Indians, to the bill prepared by
Delegate Clifford, which it is safe to say
will never become a law without an
amendment making provision for OBJ
tanning the consent Of the Indians:
Washington, Dec. Is. The general
opinion expressed among members of
congress, of whom inquiries have been
made, seems to be decidedly favorable
to the Sioux bill introduced by Jones Of
Arkansas on Tuesday last. Clifford and
King will be given a hearing before the
senate committee on Indian affairs at
an early day to give them an opportun-
ity to argue the main features Of the
bill. 1t is not at all probable that the
bill will be allowed to go through with
out a clause demanding that the consent
of the Indians shall be first obtained.
Mr.. Dawes has reached an age where
he is very tenacious of his own opinions,
and it would be very queer if he should
allow any bill to go through that did not
bear evidence of his handiwork. One
of the funniest phases of the movement
Of the opening the great Sioux reserya
ton seems TO be the fear Of the town of
Pierre that she is not likely to get as
much recognition in the matter as she
thinks belongs to her. The last issue of
the Pierre Weekly Signal SAYS that
nothing will be done with the Sioux
bill until Mr.. Mcclure reaches here,
Mr.. Peel having great confidence in Mr..
Mcclure, and that the ball can't very
well open until Mcclure arrives. 1t is
Illuminating to record that Mcclure isn't
here yet, and the movement is already
we'll along. In the house, where the
committee on Indian affairs viii. be
constituted very much as it was last
year, the Sioux bill is an established
fact, and Mr.. Peel's confidence in our
commissioner of immigration would
prove of very little moment, inasmuch
as the bill was adopted by the commit
tee over the protest Of its then chair
man, Wellborn Of Texas. Mr.. McClure's

Dakota's sun is rising. The light of
statehood Is already shining upon its
fertile prairies. At length. convinced
that no progress toward statehood would
ever be made as long as the politicians
controlled the movement, the people Of
the territory have sensible taken the
matter into their own hands, and will
this winter knock at the door Of con-
gress with the demand for admission of
the territory as a state into the Union
that will receive a respectful and favor
able consideration. The wise and harm
onious action of the Aberdeen convent
ion practically settles the question of
Dakota's admission. All that is necess-
airy to be done now is to follow up the
movement inaugurated at Aberpeen in
a manner CHARACTERIZED by the same
wisdom and conservatism and harmony
that have marked the beginning Of the
movement. The committee appointep
to 90 down to Washington to urge the
admission of Dakota as a single State
will go armed with every argument that
will be necessary to make a forcible
presentation of their ease. The oppon-
ents of admission, if there be any pre-
sent no argument OF equal force against

Thomas Hale received a package from
Hugh Adair, who is now in the juneau
mining district in Alaska, and doing
well. The package contained a number
Of specimens of gold quartz from the
Treadwell mine, and were for distribut.
ion among some of Hugb's friends here,
including Doctor Carpenter, of the Sc
hool of Mines, j. NJ. Fortier, John X.
Brennan, A. G. Boland, Glover Sickler
and Mr.. Hale himself. The quartz was
peculiar, being perfectly white, hecked
with particles Of bright metal Of some
kind, and did not resemble the gold
quartz Of the Hills at all. In fact an
amateur would not think it at all valua
BILE, and an expert examination oft will
no doubt throw some light on it as to
whether it is valuable gold quartz or
not. The Treadwell is the most extern

The government signal Office has been
moved. For many long years it has
been located in the pestilential gulch at
Deadwood, where no accurate obrervat-
ions could possibly be made. A late
order has been issued from Washington
ordering its removal to Rapid City and
the change will take place Immediately.
Rapid is most assuredly the place foa it.
There the wind, the billiards., the hail
storms, the dust and the angry elements
generally hold fnll sway, and if there is
any storms in country Rapid generally
gets it. The only tronble will be that
the wind guage will wear itself ont un-
less tenderly nursed. -Sturgis Record.

Ten men who had failed to vote at
the late division election at Spearish
have been interviewed by the Register,
of whom eight were for division. Upon
this is based the belief Of the silent

may now be considered fairly settled,
for as Spearfish goes so goes the Union.

effectually spiked.

mugwump of Montpelier, is to prose-
cute for Uncle Sam. Well We

Haskins has been an able and efficient
attorney. Pitkin may do as well,
There Is but one feature about it that
is disgusting: The hypocricy in the

cause he was a Democrat, in expec-
fancy at least, there would have been
something open and manly about it,

Put his foot in il.

This is homely but very expressive
when applied to President Cleveland
in his recent order for the return OF
the captured confederate flags and
his hasty withdrawal of said order.
One is reminded of the old ditty:
There was a man in our town,
And he was wOndrous wise,
He jumped into bramblc bush
And stratched out both his eyes.
This is precisely what our well
meaning president did by this order.
He outraged the feelings and patriot
ic devotions Of every loyal heart in
the Union, and brought out 4 storm
of Indignation, such as has not been
seen for many years. And it was
then, that, IN imitation Of the nursery
hero, he
Jumped into another bush"
And tried to
Scratch them in again
The simple fact is the people Of the
north, although having long since
buried all animosities growing out OF
the war, are willing to hold the peo-
pie of the south as brothers in the
Union entitled to all the respect anC
love that that union naturally begets
but they are unwilling to surrender ;
single jot or iota of the principles
fought for, or to surrender a single
monument Of the heroism of her citi
zen soldiery; and President Cleve
land has made the biggest mistake Of
his life, and has effectually scotchec
all chances for reelection.

Went homo TO the enjoyment of eternal
life from Wardsboro, June ~, Nellie,
daughter of Rev. L. S, and rhiiinda
Morse, aged 81 years, Funeral services
were held at the NJ. Il. church, singing
BY quartctte. Singing and music also con
Quoting of services were in accordance
with Nelie's expressed wishes. Rev. j. S.
Allen spoke words of Christian hope and
comfort to the sorrowng ones left out
side the Gates ajar." The flowers were
numerous and beautiful, emblems of the
young life just passed to more grand
conception of joy than earthly life can
give. Truly can it be said of hers "None
knew her but to love her." Naturally en-
thusiastic and conscientiously impressed
with deep sense of her Christian duty,
she was devoted to cheering others by
kindly acts, pleasant smiles and encoura-
ring words perfectly unseltlsh, swift to
sympathize and eager to relieve, she work
ed with an eaTneStneSs that disregarded
season. weather, time of day or night or
rest for herself. As long as the power of
moving about, in the old eager energetic
way, was left to her she must exercise it;
but the time came when her fathers arms
must be her support and at last the bed
was her only place of rest, then all the
sweet patience of her natural disposition,
purified by the resignation of her soul,
seemed to shine upon her dear ones as
with loving words she tried to cheer them
and to rob the last great change of its an
guiSh for them.
Some work till the Master callcth
In the glow of the autumn haze,
And some till the snow wreath fallcth-
Must measure our weary days.
A few, in the summer golden,
Find the task already done,
The labor and waiting withholdcn,
The crown of rejoicing won
But She, in her girlhood's brightness,
Already has reached the goal,
ROBBED now in the spotlcss whitcncsS
OF sin forgiven soul.
She is saved from the toll and sorrow,
The anxious hopes and the fears,
That come with each new tomorrow
And yet It's the time for tears.
Tears for the heart so loving,
That mated the lovely place,
And the gentle spirit moving,
To a life of modest grace.
For the check of polished marble
Whose crimson has left its home,
For the brown eyes startled beauty,
Where the last deep shade has come
Tears for those who mourn daughter,
And for all who loved her, tears;
But shed no tears for the spirit,
Freed from the care and strife,
Deemed worthy to join with the ranSome'
In the grand immortal life. z
